Forgot how much fun it was to get the diff out... and how fun it is to pinch fingers under the diff, yeah.
Well, it wasn't so obvious once I got the diff out. I don't think it should be knocking this bad (see video), but then again it's been 3 years since I've had the diff out and don't really remember how much play there should be.
I don't think this last track day was the first time it's overheated...

The drain plug magnet is full of some very finite metal... more than last time I pulled it.

Before I pulled the HLSD.

pinion gear, no real wear that I could tell and no movement in/out or side/side.

The HLSD looks to be in good shape and the side bearings look to be in the same condition.

What else should I be checking here....
